Thruxton Historic 12-13 June

Post by richardw »

Club Lotus is attending this event and I wanted to test the water to see if any non-members of Club Lotus would be interested in us having our own display area this year. If there is sufficient interest I’ll apply for space of our own.

As members of a club that has registered, we get 50% off the price of advance entry tickets, and free car parking in the display area.

See www.thruxtonracing.co.uk for more information.

Cheers, Richard

NB Note that this does clash with the restoration show!

Hi Richard,
FYI, I've made a note of the Thruxton Event as I'm planning to go (all being well), but not sure of which day as yet. As I'm a Club Lotus member I'll get the ticket discount through the club. I'll probably take the Excel.
Cheers, Martin.

Too early for me to commit, I'm afraid.
What car is that?

Good to see Martin (sirclip) and have aa natter last Sunday 13 June. His Celebration looking as good as ever. I was in the M100 on the Club Lotus patch - 50% off ticket price. . 240 mile round trip the longest I have done in the Elan.

Nice to catch up with you too (Phil?). What a cracking weekend. The short trip up & back for me was a peach in the Excel now that it's running nicely. I have a new starter & alternator coming today from Lotusbits, both of which are a bit on the flakey side and I don't want to breakdown (again) with the wife in the car. :)
